      Crowflight Ships First Concentrate from Bucko Lake Nickel Mine to
      Become Canada's Newest Nickel Producer
=======================================================================

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (the "Company") (TSX: CML) is pleased to
announce that it has shipped its first nickel concentrate from the
Bucko Lake Nickel Mine (Bucko) located near Wabowden, Manitoba.

The first shipment of nickel concentrate from Bucko, which occurred on
February 12, 2009, consisted of 98 tonnes of concentrate containing
11.5 tonnes of nickel. The commencement of nickel concentrate shipments
marks a major milestone at the Bucko Mine and the Company will now
focus on increasing production to reach full commercial production
early in the second quarter of 2009.

Mike Hoffman, Crowflight's President and CEO, commented, "We are very
pleased that we were immediately able to produce a marketable-grade
concentrate from the first material that we processed at Bucko. The
first shipment of nickel concentrate officially marks Crowflight's
transition to a nickel producer and we are very proud of our team for
reaching this milestone. This achievement is particularly satisfying
since our Company has managed to persevere during such difficult
economic times. A mere two years after construction began in November
2006, Bucko is now a producing mine. This could not have been
accomplished without the hard work of our employees, contractors and
the continued support of our stakeholders."

>From December 2008 to February 11, 2009, 9,674 tonnes grading 0.67%
nickel were processed. Crowflight is initially processing lower grade
material to commission the mill.  From February 5 to February 11, 5,100
tonnes were milled at a mill availability of 98%. The throughput
averaged 37 tonnes per hour (tph), or 82% of capacity, with a 12-hour
test run at 45 tph (equivalent to 1,080 tonnes per day for a 24-hour
period).  Metallurgical recoveries have fluctuated with the lower grade
material and commissioning of the reagent system, with the best
recovery thus far being 54% grading 0.7% nickel. As part of its offtake
agreement with Xstrata, all nickel concentrates produced at Bucko are
being shipped to Xstrata's smelter in Sudbury, Ontario.

Crowflight's production targets for 2009 at Bucko are 9.1 million
pounds of payable nickel at an average operating cash cost of US$3.61
per pound nickel (using an exchange rate of 1.2 Canadian to 1.0 US
dollar, beginning after the mine is in commercial production) from
362,000 tonnes at 1.65% nickel with a 77% recovery.

Crowflight currently estimates ongoing capital requirements for 2009 to
be approximately US$10 million.

Crowflight has been working continuously to complete commissioning of
the mill at the Bucko Mine.  Cold weather conditions in December and
early January resulted in freezing in the fine ore bin when re-handling
stockpiled ore from initial ore development, limitations on the use of
process water and the need to manually add reagents. Completion of
final electrical, pipefitting, HVAC and automation work was conducted
during that time as well.

In January, Crowflight resolved the fine ore bin issues, and completed
the recycle water system and reagent system. As a result, the Bucko
Mine mill construction is now complete. Moving forward, Crowflight
plans to continue to optimize mill throughput, concentrate quality and
mill recoveries. Higher grade mill feed is expected to help increase
recoveries and concentrate quality.

Crowflight is currently mining in the first high grade stope area on
the 1,000 foot level underground at Bucko.  As planned, lower grade
stopes on the 1,000 foot level are also being mined and the high grade
stope area on the 900 foot level is now being developed. The main ramp
has been developed approximately 380 feet down vertically from surface.
Some ore development and crown pillar support activities will occur
from the 450 foot level, which should be reached late in the first
quarter.
